Ainec's top 50 drafted prospects - Filip Chytil > Jagr+Malkin

[Ainec]

Since Pronman's top 50 and TSN's (Craig Button) top 50 prospect lists have come out, I felt it'd be fun to make my own.

Gusev is omitted . Top 10 reveal next week unless you want to send me some Tron coins. Feel free to take a guess, winner gets a nice prize

Blue = not on Pronman's top 50
Green = not on TSN's (Button) top 50
Red = not on both lists
Pronman does not rank goaltenders

1. Filip Chytil
#1 NHL prospect also happens to be the youngest player on this list. Exceptional skating and lower body strength which allows him to retrieve loose puck and make plays in tight spaces. Extremely responsible defensively, Chytil plays a solid two-way game and excels with and without the puck. This is his first season with significant ice-time.
2. Miro Heiskanen
The #2 ranked prospect also happened to be my #2 throughout 2016-17. Another elite skater that moves the puck quickly in transition. He's only gained confidence since being drafted #3.
3. Elias Pettersson
He's aight.
4. Eeli Tolvanen
5. Kirill Kaprizov
6. Cale Makar
7. Casey Mittelstadt
8. Martin Necas
9. Gabriel Vilardi

I like Timmins a lot, but I dunno about having him in your top 10

 

[Ainec]

timestamp here aka no shenanigans with top 10

edit:

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Petterson, heiskanen, tolvanen, necas, makar, borgstrom, kaprizov, chytil, mittelstadt, vilardi. Your top 10.

 

[Ainec]

Patterson, heiskanen, tolvanen, necas, makar, borgstrom, kaprizov, chytil, mittelstadt, vilardi. Your top 10.

ImNeverWrong, where's Timmins

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Not on your list.

 

[Dabeast]

Tippett?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Good to see Timmins getting some love in the Top 10, it's deserved IMO.

My guess will be:


1. Petterson
2. Heiskanen
3. Makar
4. Tolvanen
5. Mittelstadt
6. Necas
7. Kaprizov
8. Borgstrom
9. Timmins
10. Chytil

Roslovic isn’t really a prospect.

 

[Ainec]

Roslovic isn’t really a prospect.

under 20 nhl games

sure hes full time now but list was made 3 weeks ago

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

Sorry about that, my bad.

 

[Taswell]

Guess Bellows won't be making this top 50

 

[Ainec]

compared the list with the other top 50s and I have 15 players not on Pronman/14 not on Button's

found it interesting how close the # is between the 2. Also the top 10 varies widely

 

[SI90]

Demko top 10. Calling it now

 

[lilmaxo]

Demko top 10. Calling it now

Hes ranked 20th on his list..

 

[SI90]

Hes ranked 20th on his list..

Smh I missed that.

 

[Frk It]

Just posted this in another thread, but screw it, I'll post it again...

Clague and Timmins are 3 months apart...

Clague - 60 pts in 39 games played
Timmins - 35 pts in 30 games played

I thought Timmins was better at the WJC, but Clague has been killing it in the WHL.

If you legitimately have Timmins top 10 while having Clague at #48, you are putting waaaaaaaaaay too much stock into the WJC.

Vilardi?

 

[Ainec]

please relax about Timmins

maybe he's ranked #1 maybe he's not in the top 50

there's only so much room, same goes for Bellows who dominated the WJC

 

[Frk It]

ImNeverWrong, where's Timmins

Obnoxious.

 

[Snippit]

I respect you having Guhle at 21.

 

[blindpass]

Obnoxious.

As is the idea that anyone might be anxiously awaiting the reveal of his top ten...

 

[Ainec]

relax, although I do like my list

the real reason I'm not unveiling the top 10 is because I'm not done accumulating these players (put $ where your mouth is)

 

[Ainec]

Obnoxious.

Yes, this absurd post is. Cracked me up
